Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)
Cinnamon Becard (Pachyramphus cinnamomeus) - HBW 9, p. 455
French: Bécarde cannelle
German: Zimtbekarde
Spanish: Anambé Canelo
Taxonomy: Pachyramphus cinnamomeus Lawrence, 1861, Lion Hill, Panama.
Genus formerly included with Tityra in the Cotingidae, but transferred to present family because of several shared, derived features of the skull and syrinx. Because both genera exhibit similarity to cotingids in many other features, some authors prefer to leave them in that family or to treat them as representing a separate family (Tityridae). Phylogenetic affinity of present species unknown. Possibly closest to to P. castaneus; the two are sometimes treated as a single zoogeographical species, essentially replacing each other geographically, but slight morphological difference..

Genus formerly included with Tityra in the Cotingidae, but transferred to present family because of several shared, derived features of the skull and syrinx. Because both genera exhibit similarity to cotingids in many other features, some authors prefer to leave them in that family or to treat them as representing a separate family (Tityridae). Phylogenetic affinity of present species unknown. Possibly closest to to P. castaneus; the two are sometimes treated as a single zoogeographical species, essentially replacing each other geographically, but slight morphological differences between them considered by most authorities sufficient for treatment as distinct species. Variation among races, especially in NE Colombia and NW Venezuela, requires closer inspection. Four subspecies recognized.
